Tony Robbins

As a self-help author and motivational speaker, Anthony "Tony" Robbins (born February 29, 1960) is probably best known for his books Unlimited Power: The New Science of Personal Achievement and Awaken The Giant Within.

Robbins focuses on subjects such as health and energy, overcoming fears, persuasive communication, and enhancing relationships. To celebrate his birthday, here are some of his words of wisdom:

“A real decision is measured by the fact that you've taken a new action. If there's no action, you haven't truly decided.”

“If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten.”

“Beliefs have the power to create and the power to destroy. Human beings have the awesome ability to take any experience of their lives and create a meaning that disempowers them or one that can literally save their lives.”

“In life you need either inspiration or desperation.”

“It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped.”

“One reason so few of us achieve what we truly want is that we never direct our focus; we never concentrate our power. Most people dabble their way through life, never deciding to master anything in particular.”

“For changes to be of any true value, they've got to be lasting and consistent.”

“How am I going to live today in order to create the tomorrow I'm committed to?”

“I've come to believe that all my past failure and frustration were actually laying the foundation for the understandings that have created the new level of living I now enjoy.”

“Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible.”

“Once you have mastered time, you will understand how true it is that most people overestimate what they can accomplish in a year - and underestimate what they can achieve in a decade!”

“Passion is the genesis of genius.”

“People are not lazy. They simply have impotent goals - that is, goals that do not inspire them.”
